May 16, 2009 Draught at TND: Aroma of fruit, cherries, malts, light cocoa, and light caramel. Poured black/deep ruby in color with a medium-sized, light brown head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of cherry, chocolate, malts, light cream, and a hint of alcohol. Full body. Viscous, sticky texture. Soft carbonation. Rich, creamy, chocolate finish is a bit sticky. I was surprisingly impressed. 8%ABV is barely noticeable.

Nov 8, 2004 Sparkling clear, mahogany lager with a small, creamy, beige head. Malty and fruity aroma with notes of raspberries and chocolate. The flavor is surprisingly well-hopped with good balance. Raspberries, chocolate and a touch of weak coffee. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, moderately bitter finish. Thanks to springslicker for the bottle.

Nov 20, 2004 Updated: Sep 26, 2007Sentimental cherries and their subtle tartness waltz with the able roasty and earthy malt...Green hop bitterness lingers and dethrones the sedentary malt from its ruling position...A smidge of alcohol seduces the palate but is disconcerted by some cocoa sedimentation...Were the malt more spirited and less roasty, this would be a world-class doppelbock in my book...

Jul 8, 2006 [tap at Spuyten Duyvil] It’s nice to see this brewery is finally in the NY market, and this was quite a nice introduction - smooth, creamy and full-bodied - a nice, floral/spicy quality, coupled with a pleasant caramel/munich malt sweetness made this a pleasure to drink - welcome to NY Thomas Hooker!

Nov 4, 2006 1L swingtop bottle: 05 vintage, courtesy of swededog awhile back. Pours a large brown head that settles into a thin covering on top of a clear amber hued brew. Retention is good. Mildly sweet malt nose, honey with a faint fruitiness and a light mustiness. Body is med/full, lightly oily and a bit grainy. Medium sweet malts, chocolate, honey, raisin and licorice. Finish is medium sweet with a touch of roast. Thanks Jeff!
